My Loose Skin Pics- Avoiding Loose Skin

Tuesday, July 10, 2018

I’m a size smaller- Cheesing for the camera!
Bat wings and leg flab are not too bad for losing 230 pounds!
I admit thatI had to get the apron removed from my bellybutton to groin. 3 hernias and a piece of my colon were trapped in there. Insurance paid for it, being medically necessary and all. I’m not complaining, but it was THE roughest surgery I ever had.

How to KEEP YOUR SKIN TIGHTER during weight loss is a question I often get. Start with these simple and natural steps:
1) Drink water- lots of water
2) Eat or drink as much lean protein as you can
3) Exfoliate your skin often
4) Moisturize often
5) Exercise with resistance

These things really help. If you can’t do them all, do some. Something is always better than nothing!

Thank you. It seems that you are the first person to address the extra skin you have after weight loss. I have a lot of weight to lose so I will have extra skin. I will start drinking even more water. I will try to workout with resistance.220 days ago

Thanks for the advice. I have lose skin also. I try to find tops that have sleeves down to my elbows to hide the bat wings and looser fitting tops to hid the skin on my belly. Mine isn't drastic enough to get surgery and I couldn't afford it if it was but your tips may help. Thank you.223 days ago

Kudos for sharing about this - it's something I've always worried about (even though I don't have as much to lose). Healthy is the best size ... and if I may add a tip - losing weight slowly is also helpful - along with all the other tips you shared. I love my ST
